A Bride Switcheroo on the Big Day Chapter 20
Jasmine was ultimately sentenced to prison for embezzlement, illegal fundraising, and other crimes. Nicholas visited her on her first day behind bars. He looked at her coldly."I wasn't going to let you off so easily, so you should thank your lucky stars you ended up in prison. Pray that you spend a few more years in there—I don't know what I'd do to you otherwise," he said.His icy gaze made her hysterically shriek, "You knew that old fart was bad news all along, didn't you? You deliberately made me fall into his clutches!"Nicholas had introduced Jasmine to a director before leaving Heathridge. She'd happily gone to meet the director, but the man had taken advantage of her.She'd thought Nicholas had been in the dark about the whole thing, so she hadn't dared to tell him about it after it had happened. She hadn't wanted him to scorn her. Only now did she realize he'd set her up!"Of course. Did you think I would be kind enough to help you? I wouldn't have lost Quinn if not for y

"Are you sure you want to do this, Quinn?"Quinn Sullivan suppressed the conflicting emotions in her gaze and nodded.She opened her phone and deleted her name from the electronic wedding invitation she had prepared, replacing it with Jasmine Shaw's.Upon seeing that, her best friend, Stella Harper, glanced at her worriedly.Once Quinn was done amending the invitation, she sent it to Stella."Have someone send this out the day before the wedding, and replace all the photos and videos with ones of Nicholas and Jasmine. I'll be leaving Heathridge on the day of the wedding," she said.Once Stella left, Quinn spent some time looking out the window, unmoving from her spot.She and Nicholas York had just held their engagement party eight hours ago. Amidst the well-wishes of many guests, she had thought that her long-awaited wedding with Nicholas would come quickly.However, three hours ago, Quinn found that he had gotten into his car with a female celebrity from his company after the

Worry flashed across Nicholas' face when he saw the neglected glass of milk on the table. "Why didn't you drink it? Was it because I came back too late? I'll warm up another glass for you."He soon returned with another glass of milk while explaining, "The reason why I came back late was because I was preparing the fireworks for you. But I might be busy for the next few days, so you don't have to wait for me if I come back late."Quinn accepted the glass of milk, yet she did not drink it.Nicholas never came home late in the past—until one day when he hadn't returned all night. All her calls couldn't go through, and she spent the entire night looking for him.When he returned the next day, he explained that he had been caught up with a project. He had fallen asleep in a nearby hotel after finishing the deal.Back then, Quinn had naively believed that Nicholas was really working—she even felt sorry for him for a long time.It wasn't until two days ago that she learned that it was

Jasmine was nowhere to be found once Quinn went downstairs.Nicholas frowned as he looked around. He was somewhat distracted not seeing Jasmine around. He kept glancing at his phone even when they were in the car, accidentally running the red light a few times while his mind was elsewhere.He looked at Quinn diffidently after running the red light for the third time and narrowly avoiding an accident. He started explaining, "I'm rushing to go to the hospital because I'm worried about your injury. I hope I didn't scare you."She looked away and stared ahead. She then replied indifferently, "I'm alright, so just drive safely and stop running the red lights."Nicholas noticed that something was off with her attitude. He was about to ask about it when his phone buzzed.A brief flash of joy flickered in his eyes. The worry and tension on his face finally faded after he read the message.…As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Nicholas left the ward under the pretense of buying supp

Quinn woke up in the early dawn, only to realize Nicholas was no longer in the ward. Only the breakfast he'd left behind remained on the table."Something came up in the company, so I had to leave first, Quinn." On her phone was a message from him, sent an hour ago.Quinn wondered if he was that eager to see Jasmine.Nicholas only returned during the night, with a camera in his hand. He looked at her excitedly. "I found a perfect place for wedding photos today, Quinn. How about we go take some together? I've always felt the previous ones weren't perfect enough. I want to personally capture our happy moments this time."…Quinn only realized that they were at a desolate mountain, with no one around after they reached their destination."Look at the stars here, Quinn! Aren't they so much more beautiful than anywhere else?" Nicholas said as he took out her wedding dress.He received a call just as Quinn was about to get changed.As he answered the call, she watched the way his smi

Nicholas rushed over from another hospital the same night.When he saw that Quinn had regained consciousness, he rushed over happily and pulled her into his embrace."You really scared me! It's all my fault for causing you to fall sick. I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to you!" Nicholas said.Quinn looked at him and gently pushed his arms away. "Thank you for taking care of my grandfather. You must be exhausted."Nicholas glared at her and said, "Didn't I tell you not to be so courteous with me? Your grandfather is like my own—it's only right for me to take care of him."But you don't have to worry—Grandpa will be fine. He just had surgery, and I've arranged for several caregivers to take care of him."Nicholas then took out the sweets he had brought and placed them on the table in front of Quinn. "I heard that sweets will help you recover faster when you're sick, Quinn. These are all my favorites, so go ahead and try them!"He looked at her excitedl

Quinn could only swallow her unspoken words when she saw Nicholas hurrying away.He seemed to have forgotten about their appointment with the reporters. On the day of their engagement, he had contacted several reporters to come over for an interview, hoping to document their pre-wedding preparations.Today was the day of their appointment.Quinn was about to contact the reporters to cancel today's interview, but they had already arrived.A reporter asked, "Do you have anything to say regarding the fact that you knowingly became someone's mistress, Quinn?"Another said, "I heard that you've been arrogantly canceling confirmed collaborations, and Jasmine ended up having to fix your mess. Are these things true?""Where's your professionalism as an actress, Ms. Quinn Sullivan? Can you offer the public a proper explanation regarding the recent events?" someone asked.Quinn's heart sank instantly upon hearing the reporters' aggressive questions.Even though they were aware of the rec

Jasmine's call came in at that very moment.Nicholas helped Quinn up. He rejected the call after giving it a glance."Why didn't you tell me earlier, Quinn? I'll bring you to the hospital at once!" His phone rang again as soon as he spoke.The shrill ringing of the ringtone pierced through their ears, and Nicholas rejected the call once again."I'm fine, there's no need to go to the hospital. I'll be alright after some rest—" Before Quinn could finish speaking, she saw his phone lighting up again.She pushed his hands away and said, "Just take the call. It might be something urgent from the company.""Sit down and rest for a bit then, Quinn." Nicholas helped Quinn over to the couch before walking over to the side to take the call.However, gone was his usual gentle tone. He spoke coldly, "What's wrong? Why are you calling me relentlessly? I've already made arrangements for the best doctors and caretakers for your father. You don't have to be so worried."It was Jasmine again.

Jasmine suddenly started laughing as she clutched her cheek. "I would rather take such a roundabout way to get at Quinn than spread those videos of you, Nicholas. How can you treat me like this when I love you so deeply?"What is it about her that bewitches you so? Have you forgotten how you were the one to seek me out when I returned to Heathridge? You wanted me to join your company, and you told me you've never forgotten about me. I wouldn't be in this predicament if not for your sake, Nicholas!"She was about to lose her mind, but Nicholas didn't take pity on her because of that. On the contrary, his hatred for her grew."Don't think I don't know you orchestrated our so-called chance reunion. Also, wasn't I your whole reason for returning to Heathridge?" he spat.A hint of diffidence flashed in Jasmine's eyes at having her lies exposed.Nicholas continued, "I'll give you one last chance, Jasmine. Step up and explain everything—settle this matter, and I can let you off the hook
A Bride Switcheroo on the Big Day Chapter 18
Nicholas could only stand by and watch as things played out. He'd already seen through Gabriel's feelings for Quinn the last time they'd seen each other, so he wasn't surprised by this.What surprised him was that Quinn hadn't evaded Gabriel. She'd allowed him to hold and kiss her. His mind went blank. He couldn't believe what had just happened."Stay away from her! You don't deserve to touch her!" he snapped. He charged at Gabriel with a raised fist, wanting to hit him.Gabriel grabbed his arm with one hand while holding Quinn with the other. "What right do you have to stick your nose in my business with Quinn? Who do you think you are?"He flung Nicholas aside. The latter stumbled and fell to the ground, scratching his palm in the process. Nicholas looked at Quinn, his eyes turning red with grievance as he held up his palm. "It hurts, Quinn."Whenever he'd gotten injured in the past, she would gently tend to his wounds."You deserve it. Drop the pitiful act!" Gabriel stood befo

Nicholas' gaze no longer had the tenderness it had once held. To him, Jasmine was no more than a nemesis now.He knew she'd come bearing ill intentions when his assistant had called and told him she'd followed him. He didn't expect her to pull such a dirty trick—she'd secretly recorded them together!"I don't want to hurt you, Nicholas. I just don't understand why you're being so stubborn when things have already turned out like this. I promise I won't cause any more trouble for Quinn as long as you marry me."Besides, you and I were together before you met Quinn. How can you betray our bond for her sake?" Jasmine cried. Her eyes turned red, and she held Nicholas' shoulders tightly as she shook him.He scoffed and shoved her hands off. "You're the one who betrayed us first, Jasmine. Have you forgotten the money you took from my parents?""How do you know Quinn wasn't with you for your money, then?" Jasmine grew agitated. She looked at Nicholas pleadingly as tears glimmered in her

Nicholas ran after Quinn when he saw her get into the car to leave. She didn't stop for him, though. He watched as the car drove off into the distance, and he tripped and fell. The ring on his hand fell off and rolled into one of the bushes by the roadside.He immediately scrambled to his feet to search through them. The branches and thorns left scratches on his hands, but he didn't seem to notice them.After a long time, Nicholas clutched the ring after finding it and laughed in agitation. Slowly, tears streamed down his face as he laughed. He could find the ring again, but could he do the same for Quinn's love?Meanwhile, Quinn parked the car outside Steven's apartment building. Gabriel stood before Steven, looking glum and despondent as the latter berated him. "Your parents called and said you only have three days to tell them what they want to hear."If you can't, you're going home to marry the person they've picked for you!" With that, Steven glanced at Quinn out of the corner

Quinn stepped forward to say something when she saw how frenzied Nicholas was, but Gabriel beat her to it. The crisp sound of a slap rang out, seeming even more pronounced by the quiet riverside.Nicholas gaped at Gabriel in disbelief while cupping his face. This was the first time someone had laid a hand on him in his life.Gabriel snorted disdainfully at the look on his face. "Quinn and I have known each other since birth—what do the few years you two had together mean compared to that?"Besides, isn't Jasmine Shaw your beloved? How can you be shameless enough to want Quinn back when you destroyed her for Jasmine's sake? What's your relationship with Quinn now?"Nicholas parted his lips at that but couldn't say a word. What was his relationship with Quinn? He was supposed to be her fiancé, but she no longer wanted him.He looked at Quinn tearfully at that thought and showed her his red cheek. "If hitting me will help appease you, I'm fine letting him slap me as many times as you

Nicholas couldn't help imagining the scene of his reunion with Quinn. Would she be overjoyed to see him? It had been ages since he'd last seen her, and he missed her dearly.As he was about to arrive, he pulled out a wedding band and stroked it carefully. He'd genuinely looked forward to marrying Quinn when he'd gone abroad to have the rings custom-made.If not for Jasmine's sudden return, he and Quinn would have been happy.A tear suddenly rolled down his face and dropped onto the ring. He held it tighter. This was the only ring left from the pair he'd had made, so he couldn't lose it.Nicholas was lost upon arriving at his destination. He'd only found out which flight Quinn had taken; he had no idea where exactly she was. How was he going to find her in such a large city?Suddenly, he caught sight of someone holding up a banner to welcome their guests. An idea hit him.…Quinn was reading some documents at home when she received a call from Gabriel. "Someone has confessed thei

Gabriel's face and body were covered in mud and soil from the mountain. His sharp suit was dirty and torn, and his arms were covered in scratches from rocks and branches. He hadn't done anything to them, though.A trace of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw Quinn awake. He'd never cried even when Steven had chased after him to scold him, yet he burst into aggrieved tears then. "I'm never making you catch the sunrise with me anymore."She reached out to wipe away his tears and smiled gently. "Don't worry, I won't die. How did you get me down the mountain?"No ambulance could've gotten up the mountain because of its treacherous slopes. It looked like Gabriel had gone through a lot to get her to the foot of the mountain."I don't know. My mind went blank, and all I could think about was not wanting you to die." He couldn't stop his hands from trembling at the thought of the perilous situation. He would've spent the rest of his life in pain and regret if something really had happened

"What did you say?" Quinn asked."Nothing. Let's go back down," Gabriel answered.Quinn was in a good mood on the way back. She didn't notice the glumness in Gabriel's eyes. When they were halfway down the mountain, she received a call. Nicholas' agitated voice rang out as soon as she answered it."I know this is your number, Quinn! I have something very important to tell you—I'll find you, no matter where you've gone. If you don't come back, I'll seek out your friends and professors!" he cried.Rage surged in Quinn at those words. She was about to say something when a stabbing pain suddenly struck her heart, making her breathing speed up. She was about to collapse when Gabriel caught her and held her up."Is your heart disease acting up? I'll take you to the hospital!" His voice trembled as he hoisted her onto his back and made his way down the mountain. "Don't scare me, okay? You can't let anything happen to yourself!"We made a pact when we were kids—you said you would marry m
